Beautiful cool and clear day on the PCT and hiking into the north side of Indian Heaven Wilderness. It was like Grand Central Station with many people picking the Huckleberries. There was also a PCT Trail Angel waiting for through hikers to show up! We saw at least 8 PCT through hikers and 2 men with 4 horses and 2 dogs that were heading to Snoqualomie Pass. Many other groups were on the trail. We ended up at Wood Lake where there were no people! On the way back we headed up the Sawtooth Mt. trail and had fantastic views of Mt. Adams as well as Mt. St. Helens! There were no people on the Sawtooth Mt. Trail.
